Problem A moving electron has a Kinetic Energy K1. After a net amount of work is done on it, the electron is moving one-quarter as fast in the opposite direction. What is the work done W in terms of Kq? Solution To solve for the work done, first we must determine what is the final kinetic energy of the electron. By concept, we know that K1=(1/2)mv², K2=(1/2)mv2 But it was mentioned that: so, Kz in terms of v is K2=( )mv²1 Substituting the expression for K1 results to K2=( Since work done is W=AK=K -K Evaluating results to W=( )K1
